Loud in Leopard: Embracing Loud Luxury in 2025 with Animal Print

The revival of 2000's fashion leaves one loud trend lingering in 2025 - leopard print. This season, animal prints are everywhere, remaining a staple through winter and spring. What is the appeal of leopard print that keeps it cycling back through the trend cycle so frequently? Dive into the luxe allure of this iconic pattern, plus find tips for incorporating timeless leopard print pieces into your wardrobe that will withstand the seasons.

Leopard print's connection to luxury dates back to ancient times, worn on royalty and high members of society. The print feels exotic yet glamorous and was made mainstream when Christian Dior introduced a leopard print collection in the 1940s, framing the print as feminine. It evolved into a symbol of female empowerment and bold sexuality. Styled in an edgy, confident way, leopard print can be punk or chic.

In the 90's and 2000's, pop culture icons from Kate Moss to Paris Hilton rocked leopard print from the red carpet to street style. Today, leopard print has returned in full force, solidifying its place as a classic and timeless print. It can be both sophisticated and sultry, providing an empowering feminine aura.

Animal prints are back in full force for 2025, with leopard print leading the pack. Although deemed timeless (in my book!), leopard print sways in and out of popularity. Incorporate the sexy, sophisticated look from leopard into your closet with accessories and tops rather than larger wardrobe investments. A leopard print shoe, belt, or bag will always add a cool-girl edge to a simple outfit. A leopard print pant trending on your TikTok, however, may not be a piece you reach for next season.

A pop of animal print is the perfect way to add interest to your outfits this year. Also be on the hunt (metaphorically, of course) for zebra, tiger, and dalmatian print. A statement skirt, dress, or top in one of these prints feels fresh and unique in a season saturated with leopard.

Ultimately, don't let anyone tell you your leopard print is "too loud" or too reminiscent of Jersey Shore. Lean into bold glamour and unapologetic femininity to define your 2025 style. Loud luxury and fun prints and textures define fashion statements in the coming year.
